For over a century two ponies have coped with being alone, all attempts at finding others have failed. However, one of them has a plan to change all of that, and bring back the world loved and lost. ·gcsmith

Queen Chrysalis has spent the last few weeks living with Twilight Sparkle, hiding from the public eye and awaiting news of Princess Celestia's changeling relief effort. When Shining Armor discovers a critically injured changeling on the outskirts of Appleloosa, to Chrysalis' infinite delight, her hope for her race's survival is instantly reinvigorated.

But then the Canterlot hospital refuses to properly care for the changeling, leaving Cadance to provide the love he requires. The publicity forces Chrysalis to reveal herself to a fearful populace, driving her into the hooves of a fellow outcast. And perhaps worst of all, the awakened changeling has forsaken his queen. In his eyes, and in those of all of Equestria, Chrysalis must once again redeem herself.

That doctor abandoned a patient in his care, violated confidentiality, and was outright abusive to a patient's next of kin. His license is gone forever.

He also disobeyed legal orders from royalty. If the diarchs wanted to do so, they could spin it as him attempting to incite a war with the remaining changelings. That would count as treason. Throw him under the bus and suddenly Chrysalis' action stops seeming so bad.

What a difference six hours make: 68 / 0 likes, and 146 Favorites. I can't be bothered to check the home page to see its Featured ranking. Anyway, good on you, although the description is slightly spoiler-y, but I expect he'll be waking up rather soon, chapterwise, so meh.

Well, that depends on if the doctor is arrested for patient abandonment and treason. If word got out that he was being brought up on charges for being a horrible doctor then I doubt the public would be sympathetic, even if the princesses said nothing. Of course, if they said "We cannot comment on ongoing investigations.",that would be the same to the public as confirming it while still maintaining plausible deniability.

Of course, the doctor SHOULD be fired and stripped of his license for choosing to prevent a patient from receiving life-saving care. It's completely indefensible for any doctor to do so, and I was rather surprised Luna didn't see to that before storming off.

>>20742742074274 Is that all? Because I'm seriously taking mental notes now. I wasn't gonna have the doctor be important beyond that scene, but you're now giving me both ideas AND ways to make them work.

Firstly, a hospital refused to care for a creature? FIRE EVERY LAST DOCTOR/NURSE THERE NOW! Once you do that, then you ruin your hospital and soon no one will come and whether die then be saved by such cruel people.

>>20780802078080 I think Changelings works like bees, one queen who pumps out new drones. So Chrysalis is probably just lazy and wants as many survivors as possible so that it means less egg laying for her.

>>20834102083410 Do the queens of the hives do it asexually, though, or do they need to be fertilized? Depending on how many other changelings Shining Armor recovers, Chicane might spend many a day completely sore. And not from his injuries.

By Chicane's injuries that is a fate worse than death, BUT if he can survive with those injuries for such a long peroid of time.....Chrysalis YOU BETTER MAKE HIM EITHER 2nd IN COMMAND OR MARRY HIS ASS CAUSE HE'S A STRONG ONE!!!!!
